Progress Report 04.18.12

Sanded and repainted the roads in Bureau.  Added the new, longer spur track for Daniel Grain Company in Bureau.

Burr Oak Yard in Chicago received a renovation.  Chicago's staging had a total of 6 storage tracks plus two tracks for a locomotive facility.  The problem is that I had to double up locals on the same track as I simply didn't have enough space.  Since, the locomotive facility wasn't used like the one in Davenport (due to the yard being stub ended), I decided to rip it out.  In its place, I added two storage tracks.  So, now, I have a total of eight storage tracks, plus a thoroughfare / run around track.  This will help greatly during the op session.  This will also allow the passenger train to stay on the main in Blue Island and terminate in the yard.  Last session, patrons were walking across the main.  I have observed this on various Rock Island movies during the 60s and 70s, but not very safety conscious.
